Product information & specifications
Petzl Flow 11.8mm Low Stretch Kernmantle Rope
The Petzl Flow 11.8mm is a flexible and lightweight low-stretch kernmantle rope specifically designed for professional tree care. Its medium 11.8mm diameter provides an excellent balance between flexibility, weight and control, making it ideal for efficient movement within the canopy, certified to CE EN 1891 Type A and ANSI Z133.
Available in Green and Orange, in 35m and 45m lengths with a splice at one or two ends, it's in stock at Gustharts as an authorised Petzl dealer, with free UK delivery on this order.
With low elongation under load, the Flow increases efficiency when ascending and repositioning in the tree. The patented splice ensures smooth rope glide through friction savers, pulleys and branches, and its compact design allows the rope to pass cleanly through the friction chain of ZIGZAG and ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusiks. Constructed with 100% polyester double weave and enhanced with EverFlex technology, the Flow maintains consistent flexibility and handling even in demanding conditions such as water, dust and mud.
Key Features & Benefits
- 11.8mm low-stretch kernmantle rope for tree care
- Medium diameter for optimal flexibility and weight balance
- Low elongation under load for improved climbing efficiency
- Patented splice available at one or two ends
- Small splice compatible with ZIGZAG and ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusiks
- 100% polyester double weave construction
- EverFlex technology maintains flexibility over time
- Available in Green and Orange for easy work rope identification
Technical Details
Why Choose the Petzl Flow?
Petzl is the reference brand in rope access and tree care equipment, and the Flow's patented splice and EverFlex construction are engineered specifically to solve the friction and glide problems arborists face daily with generic kernmantle ropes. Choose the Flow if you run a ZIGZAG or ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusik — the compact splice is purpose-built to pass cleanly through the friction chain of both devices.
Certified Protection Explained
CE EN 1891 Type A is the European standard for low-stretch kernmantle ropes used in rope access and work positioning, confirming the rope's strength, elongation and construction meet certified safety limits for professional climbing use. ANSI Z133 is the American National Standard for arboricultural operations, covering safe work practices including rope specifications for tree care.
Pairs Well With
Pairs perfectly with the Petzl Zigzag Plus Mechanical Prusik — the compact splice is designed specifically to pass through its friction chain. Add a climbing harness to complete your setup.

FAQs
Is this rope compatible with the ZigZag Plus?
Yes, the small splice is specifically designed to pass through the friction chain of both the ZIGZAG and ZIGZAG PLUS mechanical Prusiks.
What's the difference between one splice and two splices?
A single splice gives you one pre-terminated end for attaching to devices; two splices terminate both ends, useful for certain rigging and doubled-rope setups.
How do I choose between the 35m and 45m lengths?
Choose based on the height of the trees you typically work — 45m gives more working length for taller canopy work, while 35m is lighter and more compact for smaller trees.
Why are there two colour options?
Green and Orange are offered so crews can easily identify and separate different work ropes on site.
Is this rope certified for professional use?
Yes, it's certified to CE EN 1891 Type A and meets ANSI Z133 arboricultural safety requirements.
